World's Wonder Strawberry. 



Kellogg's Prize 



In Kellogg's Prize we have one 

 of our very best late imperfect vari- 

 eties. The introducer claims it to be 

 a berry without a fault. Well if 

 there is any fault in Kellogg's Prize, 

 the writer has not found it except 

 that it is an imperfect bloomer and 

 has to be fruited with some other 

 variety same season. This is no 

 particular fault as imperfect vari- 

 eties are as valuable as perfect va- 

 rieties when in the hands of experi- 

 enced growers, as the only thing 

 is to pick varieties of good 

 habit, of same season, with 

 perfect flowers, to plant in 

 every other row or every two 

 or three rows as may be 

 wished. As stated above, 

 Aroma makes a good pol- 

 lenizer for Kellogg's Prize. 

 Chesapeake makes a good 

 one. Townsend's Late 

 makes an ideal mate 

 Baltimore, or Chester 

 If the variety is 

 properly matted 

 it will do its 

 part well. The 

 Kellogg Prize 

 does well every- 

 where. In any 

 soil it produces 

 i t s customary 

 load of berries 

 and will win the 

 admiration of 

 everyone who 

 grows it. We 

 recommend it to 

 all our custom- 

 ers as one of the 

 very best stand- 

 ard berries. Try 

 this berry. $4.00 

 per 1000 plants, 

 500 plants at 

 1000 rate. 



World's Wonder 



Introduced by us in 1916. The World's Wonder has been 

 claimed by all that have seen it to be the largest berry ever 

 seen. In fact the berry is so large that it hardly looks 

 like a strawberry. The size runs more the size of apples 

 than strawberries. The variety is truly a wonder in many 

 ways. In plant growth it is more than a wonder. We have 

 planted it on several different soils, and it has led all other 

 plants in the same plot every year. Plants are exceedingly 

 large and stalky, and make a tremendous bed of layer plants 

 if allowed to do so. Even in the thick matted rows the 

 past season the berries were as large as hen eggs on an 

 average, each one bright and shiny, with a triple layer calyx 

 that set the large berry off. Most large strawberries are 

 hollow inside but not so with the Wonder. They are solid, 

 meat a little lighter inside than out, with a mild flavor, and 

 a tough texture that makes them carry well for so large a 

 berry. We have tested them in shipping by express, 200 

 and 300 miles, and the commission merchant has always 

 reported berries arrived in fine condition, and they brought 

 top of the market. When it comes to productiveness they 

 are in a class by themselves, the berries being so large 

 that it takes but a few to fill a quart. For home use or 

 local market try the World's Wonder. They are good to 

 eat, and they are good sellers and they are a curiosity, as 

 well. Price: $10.00 per 1000, 500 at 1000 rate, $3.00 per 

 250, $1.50 for 100 plants. 



Note — No one else has the Genuine World's Wonder 

 plants for sale unless our customers have a few plants 

 for sale. 



Aroma 



An old standard variety that is still gaining popularity. 

 We never fail to sell the large growers Aroma plants, and 

 in a very great many instances we recommend the Aroma 

 to our customers as in doing so we always feel that we 

 are recommending a berry that they can hardly go wrong 

 with. We could print a book on the good things that have 

 been said about the old Aroma plants that our customers 

 have bought from us. The berries are large in size, rich 

 in color, and deliciously aromatic in flavor. Is one of the 

 hardiest plant makers and surest croppers on the list. We 

 planted a plot of Aroma and Kellogg prize the past season 

 for experiment, and it seems that both varieties were bene- 

 fitted. The beds of each were simply piles of berries around 



each plant, and all rows 

 were excellent. Price: 

 $3.50 per 1000 plants, 500 

 at 1000 rate.
